[QUOTE="camo7782, post: 826366, member: 79586"] Today I opened my [FONT=courier new]HOSTS[/FONT] file ([FONT=courier new]C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc[/FONT]) as usual just to find it totally empty (0 byte) I wonder what app did this, I have tesed and currenlty run a few apps, that comes on my mind here are the few that I remember: - Emsisoft - OS Armor - SysHardener - Comodo Firewall (removed) - Bit Defender (removed) - G Data IS (removed) I was unable to find any backup copy, I wonder what app and why it stripped all my hosts file without a warning or without making a copy first.
